Walking into the bedroom, under the dim light, a thin man was writing furiously. Seeing Li Yan come in, he quickly stopped writing and waved her over.
Li Yan walked over timidly. Although her father was taciturn in her memory, he was especially kind to the children in the family. Every time he finished copying books for the bookstore, he would buy them malt candy.
Li Erlang walked to the table and touched his daughter's hair. "I heard from your mother that you dreamt of all kinds of strange things. Was today's meal also a dream? But such things should not be told to outsiders! Yan'er, do you know?"
Li Yan nodded and said, "I know, I only told my mother!"
Li Erlang asked again, "Are you going to see Shopkeeper Qian tomorrow? What did you and your cousin discuss?"
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "How about we bring some food from home to visit my cousin and then ask Shopkeeper Qian to taste it with us? If he likes it, he'll naturally want to buy the recipe!"
"We don't need to be so roundabout. Just have your cousin tell Shopkeeper Qian that we have a recipe. If Shopkeeper Qian thinks it's good, he'll want to buy it."
Li Yan tilted her head and thought about it. It was indeed more direct this way. They were all thousand-year-old foxes, so it was more open and straightforward to express their demands directly!
After the two finished discussing, Li Yan went back to her room to wash up and go to bed.
The next morning, Li Yan got up early and prepared to steam her glutinous rice sausage.
After washing the rice and putting it in the pot to cook porridge, a steamer was placed on the pot, and inside the steamer were glutinous rice sausages. When everyone had finished cleaning up and were ready for breakfast, Li Yanran lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the glutinous rice sausages were all ready.
I picked them up one by one with chopsticks and put them in a large bowl to cool. When my little cousin saw the fresh food, he clamored to eat it.
Li Yan casually cut two pieces and gave them to her cousin. He was not afraid of the heat and took a bite, making loud squeaking sounds. The adults couldn't help but laugh.
Old Mrs. Wu walked over, picked up a piece, and tasted it. It was soft, glutinous, fresh, salty, and fragrant. The aroma filled the air as soon as she took a bite! It was very suitable for an old lady like her with bad teeth. It was just too much of a waste of ingredients!
Seeing that Old Lady Wu didn't say anything after tasting it, everyone couldn't help but step forward to pick up a piece to taste. The tempting color and fresh and fragrant taste made everyone nod and say good!
The father and daughter put the braised food in a clay pot, took some glutinous rice sausage, and carried a small basket as they walked towards the town.
An hour later, the two men arrived outside the city gate. Today was not a market day, so the city was not as lively as yesterday. The two men went straight to Piaoxiang Tower.
After walking for about half a minute, the two arrived at the door of Piaoxianglou. When they stepped inside, they saw the fat waiter dozing on the counter with his head propped up. Li Jianmin saw his second uncle and cousin and hurried over to ask uncertainly, "Why is my second uncle here?"
Li Yan winked at her cousin and said, "Brother, is the shopkeeper here? Father needs to discuss something with him!"
Li Jianmin said excitedly: "Yes, the shopkeeper is in the kitchen. I'll go and report it first!"
Li Erlang nodded, and Li Jianmin ran to the kitchen like a gust of wind.
The fat waiter didn't bother to pay attention to us because we weren't customers.
At this time, Shopkeeper Qian came over from the kitchen and bowed, "I wonder what Brother Li wants to discuss with me?"
He knew Li Erlang, and the young man next to him was his nephew!
Li Erlang stepped forward and asked quietly, "Would you mind if I could have a moment with you, sir?"
Shopkeeper Qian looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, thinking that he had no friendship with Li Erlang, and secretly suppressed his surprise: "Follow me to the backyard!"
